Can someone recommend any advice on anything (setting up partnership structure, accounting/ setting up a bank account , lending with foreign investors, sourcing deals etc…).

Can you put some reserves into a "lock box" type account that is your money but locked at escrow for up to a period of time.  

Every 1077 appraisal that my clients have received only accounts for traditional rentals/leased comparables in the area.

With both land trusts, we were denied bank accounts at almost every bank we tried, Seacoast Bank being the only one who'd touch it. 

We have consulted with our accountant and got all the scoop on what needs to be done.

The day we were set to switch over I was told with their direct API, VRBO no longer will process payment and for our business model I was not setting up 90 plus listing stripe accounts or doing the accounting for that process.

If you have 100k invested in a property but you're only cash flowing $200 a month, it might make more sense to sell and reinvest into another property or simply put the 100k in a high yield saving account at this point in time.  

The issue lies within the inability to currently afford a bigger house in the area we live.My W-2 issues annual stock distributions and I just received my first one (40K).

I’ve gotten by with just cleaning the roots out annually at a few of our properties with clay pipes, and just replacing sections of collapsed pipes at others and the highest I’ve paid was $10k for replacing a ~30 foot section of collapsed orangeburg (that stuff is the worst).

You are right, I should have accounted for that.
